    10 miles for me this week. I'm finally over my injury!
  • Great 5K Maria, you are back to FAST from your injury! That's got to feel great. A new PR is right around the corner.

    I'm just running base miles this month, and I am 10 pounds heavier tthan my regular weight, and gaining a pound each week. That makes me a little slower.:tongue: I'm focusing on a weightlifting bulking program before marathon training starts.

    Tues - 6 miles
    Thurs - 6 miles
    Sat - 13 miles
    Sun - 5 miles
    WTD 30 miles
    MTD 90 miles

    Coor, I'm sorry, I'm again nowhere near target. I started running 2 miles again, a few days ago. Made it to three yesterday. I think I'm properly back on the mend, so hopefully will be back to decent miles soon.

    Could you put me down for 50 for November? I reckon that's more realistic. I'll get back to 100 soon! :-)

    Glad you are feeling better, I recall you said you had a respiratory issue :flowerforyou: and very happy to see you BACK here :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Thanks!

    Yes, it was respiratory. Totally sucked.

    My mileage this week has been dismal as well. I have been dealing with a sick daughter all week. No fun, but she is better now so hopefully I van get back on track this week. I've got a long way to go to get close to my goal.

    I did run a Half yesterday (Waddell & Reed KC Marathon). I am very happy with my time of 2:01. I ran this same race last year which was my "first half". I beat my time by 10 minutes, and haven't really been working on my speed, just my mileage. I was hoping for sub 2, but I decided not to push it too hard since I hadn't run all week.

    Half Marathon tomorrow!!!!!!!!!! My profile pic is my costume!!!!!!!! :)

    Excellent!!! How did you do!!!!

    You can add 13.1 miles to my total!!!

    Haunted Half Marathon Results: finished 41/69 for my age group and 240/459 overall females. Official time was 2:16:21

    I shattered my previous time of 2:20:46 set in April (my first HM). First 6 miles of the race were downhill (I had a 54 minute 10k, that pace didn't last), I knew this going in and tried to train the best I could. I didn't train well enough. About mile 11.5 I suffered the excruciating knee pain that hampered me last Sept-Dec til I went to the PT. I ended up half running. hobbling the last bit pushing myself to beat that 2:20. I felt it fit perfectly being a Halloween themed race, I looked like a running Crayon Zombie. Through the winter I'm going to work on leg muscle strength and hit the canyons more when it's warm.

    I ran a half marathon today. I felt good during my first 10 miles. I was on a sub 1:50 pace, and then the nightmare happened in the last 3.1 miles. I had an epic bonk and eeked out a 2:00. I didn't prepare well this summer. Just too much heat and humidity in the mid-west this year. I had an easier time training during the winter months in prep for my first HM this past April where I ran a 1:52. I guess improvement doesn't always take a linear path. I had better splits this time as compared to April. It's possible I may have went out too fast. One change I made during the race that I didn't do during my training was popping GU packs and carrying a water bottle during the race. I learned in April that most of the water I grabbed at the water stations went on my shirt instead of in my mouth. I should have experimented with the nutrition thing a little more, and I should have had a few high mileage training days over 15 miles before the race as well. It probably would have been a good idea to run sections of the course before the race too. The high mileage training I did have an opportunity to put in this summer were mostly in the 8-10 mile range. During the winter I had a couple 16 mile training days and I think that gave me a huge confidence boost leading into the April race. My goal is between 1:45 - 1:50 next time. I know I can do it

    Wednesday 8.9, Thursday 7.6, Friday 8.1, Saturday 7.6 and Sunday 9 miles.
    So, during my two cross country runs, not having a water bottle in my hand made no difference, probably cause of the unevenness of the ground. But, whilst running on asphalt my average km was between 40-60 sec faster. I guess that bottle have been throwing my of my gait or something. Anyways, lesson learned=)

    Ran my Half Marathon today. The Runner's World Half & Festival was tons of fun. I was aiming for 1:50 finish, but the hills on the course were just too much for me. Finished in 2:01:30. Still a PR, since it's my first half. That takes me to 85 for the month. And OMG I hurt right now.

    10/18: 1.5 miles-foot seems ok, but easing back into it.

    MTD: 11.5 (ouch! that really hurts :sad: )

    did you get it checked? ): so sorry....

    10/21: 6 miles--

    MTD: 17.5

    Thanks Cor! Doc says as long as it doesn't hurt too bad after running it was probably a strain or deep tissue bruise and all should be fine. So far so good. I can walk today after my longish run yesterday so that is a huge improvement!! If the pain worsens with running I have to go back for another xray to see if it is stress fx, but I'm thinking if I was going to have any additional pain, it would have been after yesterday and I feel pretty good! I should back on track to finish this month and start training next month for my half. Sadly I won't make goal this month, but there's always November ;)

    On my 5K today, that I ran with my DH, son and my bestie runner friend, I finished 18 seconds slower than my best 2012 5K time - BUT it is the best time since my stress heel fracture (July 15). Super happy, wish I had pushed harder up that last hill though. Tomorrow I am doing a half marathon, but I am running that at a leisurely pace (I hope) to build up my mileage

    Great job on your 5K! Hope everything went well with your half! :happy:

    Hi everyone,

    I just realized that I haven't updated my run distances, so here they are for the month so far:
    10/2 - 2.75 miles
    10/3 - 7.55
    10/4 - 6.13
    10/6 - 5.6
    10/8 - 5.03
    The days after this were hectic due to school and work, and I was worried about not having time because of an upcoming half marathon on the 14th, but I did:
    10/12 - 4
    10/13 - 5.05
    10/14 - 13.1 - half marathon! It was very rainy but mild, and I managed to injure both of my Achilles tendons. I was going at a 1:45 pace until mile 13, which was the point at which I really felt the pain of the friction between my skin and my shoes. I managed to finish in 1:52 with a very bloody pair of shoes!
    10/18 - 12.2 miles
    10/19 - 6 miles
    10/20 - 8 miles
    10/21 - 7.5 miles

    So far, this adds up to 82.91 miles for the month. I'll report back this coming Sunday for a check in.
